H. P. Lovecraft

“ In LEE with equal magnitude appears.
Our nation’s Father, crown’d with vict’ry bays,
Enjoys a loving land’s eternal praise:
Let, then, our hearts with equal rev’rence greet
His proud successor, rising o’er defeat! ”

“ And give them back the manhood they have lost!
What kindlier spirit, breathing from on high,
Can teach us how to live and how to die?
